Research Resources
You may use other resources of your choice to prepare for this
assessment; however, you will need to ensure that they are
appropriate, credible, and valid. The
MSN-FP6612: Emerging Health Care Models and Care
Coordination Library Guide
can help direct your research. The Supplemental Resources and
Research Resources, both linked from the navigation menu in

5. your courseroom, provide additional resources to help support
you.
As you review these resources, you may want to consider the
following questions:
How are nurse leaders taking the lead in using HIT to bridge the
gaps in care coordination?
Why is the consistent use of common HIT terminology
important?
What is the impact of data reporting in determining health
outcomes, the effectiveness of health education, and the ability
to predict client behaviors?
Asssessment InstructionsPreparation
Marta Rodriguez, a student, recently moved from New Mexico
to Nevada to live with her aunt and uncle and was enrolled as a
freshman in college. While attending her first semester, Marta
was involved in a hit-and-run car accident. She was transported
to the nearest shock trauma center where she spent the next four
weeks undergoing multiple surgeries and antibiotic treatment
for a systemic infection. Spanish is Marta's first language and
English is her second. Marta has a student health insurance
plan.
You are the senior care coordinator overseeing Marta's care.
You will be presenting her case to the interdisciplinary team
members who are caring for Marta at an upcoming meeting to
consider key aspects of a successful and safe discharge care
plan for her. You are expected to lead the discussion, focusing

6. on the role of informatics in effective discharge care planning,
and have decided to prepare an analysis of key issues for team
members to consider, which you will distribute to the attendees
for review prior to the meeting.
Note:
Remember that you can submit all or a portion of your draft to
Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version
of this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be
mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving
feedback.
Requirements
Analyze key issues for consideration at the discharge planning
meeting. Determine the effects of HIT support, data reporting,
and EHR data collection on effective care planning.
Use the following template for your written analysis:
APA Style Paper Template [DOCX]
.
Analyzing Key Issues
The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading
criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your analysis
addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read
the Patient Discharge Care Planning Scoring Guide to better
understand how each criterion will be assessed.
Explain how the interprofessional team will use HIT to provide
a longitudinal, patient-centered care plan across the continuum
of care that supports Marta in the discharge planning process.

7. What HIT elements will the team members use and why?
How can the interprofessional team members utilize the HIT
elements to prevent a readmission of this patient 48 hours after
being discharged?
How will the use of these elements support the coordination of
care for this patient?
Describe at least three ways in which data reporting specific to
client behaviors can shape care coordination, care management,
clinical efficiency, and interprofessional innovation in care.
How would you evaluate the quality of the data?
Explain how information collected from client records can be
used to positively influence health outcomes.
How will the interprofessional team members coordinate their
individual findings in the collaborative use of HIT?
Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and
mechanics.
Express your main points and conclusions coherently.

8. Proofread your writing to minimize errors that could distract
readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the
substance of your analysis.
Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and
credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references
using APA style.
Is your supporting evidence clear and explicit?
How or why does particular evidence support a claim?
